Course Overview
Golden Hills Country Club in Ocala, Florida presents an 18-hole championship layout that challenges players while offering a welcoming atmosphere for golfers of varied skill levels. The course weaves through gently rolling terrain accented by mature trees and water hazards that come into play on multiple holes, demanding strategic shot placement. Its design encourages thoughtful club selection, with undulating greens that test putting precision without overwhelming less experienced players.

The surrounding landscape glorifies Florida’s natural beauty, where subtle elevation changes reveal glimpses of shimmering ponds and native vegetation. Standout holes offer a blend of challenge and charm, including several par-4s that invite risk-reward decisions as bunkers guard the landing areas, and finishing holes that blend water and tree-lined fairways to shape a memorable close to the round.

The course is in very good condition. A few wet areas where the grass is long but not a big deal.
Rusty Shelby
The course need some work, especially in the bunker areas. Greens are decent, and the course is challenging. The greens fees are reasonable, not something you can say about many other courses in FL. Will definitely play here again. The staff was helpful and considerate.

Took a tour of this place in my search for a Banquet Hall for my upcoming event. Nice banquet hall. Very impressed. Excellent view. Potential for many nice pictures. Ate at the restaurant. Golden Hills burger was excellent! Nice price too. As soon as my event is finalized, I'm going back to book it.

Me and my family go here all the time to eat and golf. Lovely place with good food and friendly staff. My brother used to work here to. We often come during the karaoke nights. The corse is hard but fun. My dad had a Christmas party for his business, it was vary enjoyable. I always look forward to coming. My mom also uses the exercise room and comes home from a good workout. Periodically I’ll use it and my brothers. Me my brother and dad all golf here. My dad golfs so much here and always enjoys it. When holidays come they have special events in the restaurant and other events. I went there on Easter and ate a lot of food. A waitress that works there always knows what me and my brother want for food. Overall amazing place!
